They're an utter waste of money and space. The nearest I have to one in the house is an Eagle Annual.

Don't you have a mirror?

I'm a Daily Star kind of man. ;D

I think knot...

To get back on track, if anyone can be bothered, I would just like to state that ornaments are not a waste of money and space. If it wasn't for ornaments, I wouldn't know where to look for the dust in the house.
So there.

I wouldn't know where to look for the dust in the house.
Lifestyles of the rich and famous, looking for dust, not since "War of the Worlds" have I felt such envy as this; "...intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes...", one day when robots finally take over the mundane tasks of the world, and mankind is free to explore and expand his intellect...I want to look for dust too...

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.....

Took me a moment, but it was worth it! ;D ;D ;D

Well, it would be in the place the ornament isn't. Or am I missing something . . . like the joke?

Easy there, Obe Wan. This is not something for the untrained. Rubbing ones white gloved fingers along an exposed door jamb, may be fraught with peril. "Wipe carefully, but wipe awa'", as my old mother used to say.
We Buttcheeks always wipe carefully.

Sandy clearly is on a mission to bring down the tone of every topic. ;D
-
I'm going to change. I promise. Right now.
There, all done. I'm mature now.

Of course it's gonad last!

Sounds like the intro to a big band leader...Gonad Last and his Orchestra...

I don't like being given ornaments. I have very few places to display anything so have to look at what I can get rid of to make a space. Then you end up with a bunch of things you don't even like in case those people pop in for a visit.

;D

You need a shed for your ornaments, all labelled, so that you can bring them out when people pop in for a visit.
-
I could call it my gallery and just let people see the things out there. 8)
-
Yes, a "Things Everyone Bought Me" shed.
-
That's probably how museums started - somewhere for the nobility to get rid of their armless statues.
-
;D museum noun my mu + shed seum
-
I like going to a mymushedseum. They're a great place to go for a vigositsomeplacebetter.

I spent all day in a museum yesterday, talking about myself... and I was paid to do it. :-\

Don't tell me: you're armless and someone found somewhere else to put you.

Was this part of a living history exhibit?

:D I guess you could say that, Diane. I was booked to give a series of four hourly (as distinct from four-hourly) talks about cartooning and my career/history in it. This was part of the UK's 'Big Draw' campaign at Bradford's National Media Museum. Events designed to encourage people to draw are held at this time of year all around the country. There was also a little drawing thrown in for light relief. Thankfully, no-one fell asleep apart from me.

I would have attended, if it were not so far.
Do you have "Comic Book Day" (May 2 this year) over there? I volunteered at the library for that this year - we hired a young lady from the city who has a few things published but is still in college, show children and youth the steps of creating cartoon characters. The end results looked good but I was doing face-painting non-stop during the event so couldn't get over to watch. The neat thing was she brought along a couple of her college friends a juggler and a unicycle rider - you don't see many people taking up those occupations these days.

Ah, shame - I'll have to drop heavy hints for them to book me for a Canadian gig, Diane. That would be fun!

I'm not aware of that one over here, but there's been a massive upsurge in Comic Conventions in the UK, and it seems like hardly a weekend goes by without one being held somewhere in the country, and attendances by costumed comic fans is on the increase. All very encouraging! I'm saving up for a Spandex figure-hugging Bananaman costume before I attend my first one.
A couple of weeks back, I was taking an early morning stroll in the park in Shrewsbury, when I came across a chap on the path, riding a unicycle whilst juggling balls, and repeatedly (I stopped and watched for a while) trying the same trick of catching one of the balls on the back of his neck. As I walked on, marvelling at the talent of Shropshire locals, I turned a corner to find a massive U.S. circus tent pitched in the park, surrounded by huge trucks and trailers. The penny dropped, and I only momentarily considered enquiring if they wanted a cartooning act, and running away from home...

Why momentarily? Did it take you a while to realise you didn't know a cartooning act you could recommend to them?

It may have been fun to do caricatures of people but they would have expected help cleaning out the elephants too.
We had a small fair come to town in June, I joked that I may run off with them as my 4th attempted occupation this year, but I didn't. They look like an awful lot of work setting up and taking down every few days.
The Town asked me to provide a few dozen photos for a presentation they are doing to raise funds with the county - photos around town of things like the new play sets and people having fun enjoying the facilities - the uni-cycler was one of the ones I sent them.

Did he really have three balloons stuck to his head? Gilding the lily just a tad...
